I never really saw it too, absolutely none so far, despite it being RU in Smogon. Its a definition of a tank, low attack stats but higher defense ones.

It is different from some useless bugs because of a solid typing which makes it have a good STAB against 2 weaknesses Bugs have: Rock and Fire. 132 Special Defense paired with Assault Vest can make a good combo too.

It has an amazing ability and unique one Water Bubble(DOUBLES its water moves on top of the STAB so that is a huge thing, cannot be burned and halves the damage of Fire attacks).So the fact it has low attack stat will not matter that much. Prime move Liquidation. This DESTROYS with a Choice Band(which isnt in the game though)

Movepool is pretty solid where it has Magic Coat to reflect special attacks it can tank, and Entrainment as a small niche to shut down things like Aerilate/Pixilate, Speed Boost on Blaziken or Adaptability. Shame it doesnt work on things like Aegislash. Also has a healing attacking STAB move, and as of USUM can make Sticky Webs. Not to mention it can learn Poison Jab and surprise fairies(though not recommended).

But also comes the weakness to stealth rocks. And in this physically dominated metagame it has just OK enough defense.and poor HP so it will be easily worn down.
